Books take me to other places, worlds and timelines. I write poetry and create things, landscaping to stitching, baking to blankets. Happiest in Nature, I'm a thinker who appreciates practicality. Happily married, we've cats, dogs, chickens and family :D
Farsi is such an elegant script... had 6 poems printed in a Farsi/English book and though I like my own poetry it just looks so much more erudite in Farsi :D

I've had several people following me but I can't read the language, Farsi I think... I noticed a 'translate this page' icon before but it didn't work for me and now it's gone. I need to see what they're saying before I follow back, just like I do anyone else. Hope Bluesky gets it sorted when able to

#cooking So I got the cheesecake out of the springform pan and, well shit, it looks good but the graham cracker base is too thick... could have done with being half that thickness. 1 cup of crumbs would have done rather than the 1.5 stated in Paul Hollywood's recipe 😒 Just as well I like a crust!

today is NY cheesecake making day, plus cooking the turkey crown and maybe the cornbread, leaving just the green bean+potato casserole, broccoli and gravy kinda stuff for tomorrow. *gazing out window onto sunny green yard with chickens scratching in the fallen leaves.

NEW: Porsha Ngumezi is the fifth case we've reported on in which a woman died after not receiving a D&C or its second-trimester equivalent in time, or at all.
Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

Help needed to identify this artefact please! Found by my grandson, Indy, on #Dartmoor, a few hundred meters from Foggintor School ( built 1915) ruins. Heavy for its size. Weighs 50g
Any ideas? The handle of a tool perhaps? Or a poker?

Thank you!

Anyone else getting mail from Patricia Busking, lottery winner saying they'll give you $50,000 for nothing, just randomly? Well a search shows this is a scam (quelle surprise)that has been seen on Instagram and other places. I have reported and blocked this account. It isn't the real P.Busking.

lousy at remembering to take photos before I gift them, I've made several blankets of knitted/crocheted squares. I like to line them so I thrift shop for nice sheets and stitch them securely in place then edge them with blanket ribbon... make great throws and snugglies.

A jury convicted Trump on 34 felony counts.
Grand juries voted on all 4 indictments of Trump.
Juries — of citizens like you and me. They saw the evidence and said the cases were legit.
All of that democratic accountability now just gets wiped away.
WE WILL NEVER FORGET.

I heard The Orange Shitgibbon doesn't like it when you say Elon Musk is the man in charge while Trump is ailing. I would hate for that to go viral. 😈
